Love this spot. Brunch is amazing, drinks are great, servers are super friendly. Their big pancakes are insanely good. Got the stroganoff tonight and it’s decadent. It’s not fast food, for sure so expect to spend some time but it’s such an enjoyable vibe that it never bothers me. So glad I live in Beaverdale so I can frequent.

My husband and I tried this place based on reviews and it was amazing! We are from Lincoln, Nebraska and in town for the weekend. So glad we had breakfast here. Food was delicious, cool atmosphere, very friendly service. I’d totally come back again!

We came for brunch and made a reservation beforehand. The pancakes are HUGE. It's a really good deal for the amount of food you get.

Such a cute place to go for brunch. The pancakes are huge and they have such fun flavors, not too sweet. There was one server handling the whole area and he did an amazing job. Definitely will be back to try more Pancakes in the winter hash! Chillaquiles And country fried chicken were amazing!!

They have the best pancakes I've ever had in my 75 years!

Food was great. Cakes are really good and the flavors are too die for. Pumpkin pie, lemon curd, blueberry and cinnamon roll.

It is very loud for brunch.

The beef stroganoff was really good. I can only say it might be better if the meat was a med-rare skirt steak but still amazing! The noodles and sauce is the best. Do not leave without getting the blueberry crème brûlée. That was absolutely amazing. The service is great and atmosphere is very warm. It is a great spot for all occasions.
